Chapter 185 Counterattack

Murong Ye looked at the approaching Lan Zheng, gritted his teeth, and kicked her.

Lan Zheng was kicked in the face and her body flew out uncontrollably again.

Her arm hit the ground first, and there was a "crack" sound, and her arm was dislocated on the spot.

But Lan Zheng lost all her senses and immediately got up from the ground, dragging her dislocated arm and continuing to rush towards Murong Ye.

People controlled by puppeteers will lose their consciousness as human beings and become puppets.

Once the puppet finds its target, it will continue to attack until the target is destroyed.

When Murong Ye attacked, the wound on his abdomen was pulled, and the blood flowed even more violently.

As he knocked Lan Zheng down again and again, his face became paler and paler. However, Lan Zheng acted as if nothing had happened. Even though her face had just hit the ground and was scratched by stones, she still got up immediately.

Murong Ye was almost going crazy watching her dragging her broken body to kill him.

At this time, Xue Youli had already caught up. She looked at Chu Xinyue standing by the wall and peering out, walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder, "How is it? How's the battle going?"

Chu Xinyue pulled her and pointed excitedly into the alley, "The puppet dragon is so awesome. Lan Zheng is now like a zombie that will rush over at the smell of human flesh! She won't stop until Murong Ye is dead! Come and have a look, it's really exciting!"

Xue Youli tilted her head and looked into the passage between the two walls.

Murong Ye's abdomen was still pierced with the soft sword, and his clothes were soaked in blood.

There was also a dark pool of blood on the ground at his feet.

Lan Zheng was covered in wounds, one arm was dislocated and one leg was broken by a kick.

However, she was like an indestructible cockroach. Even though she was limping on one leg, she still rushed towards Murong Ye without changing her expression.

Murong Ye was badly stabbed by her sneak attack, and he resorted to force, which resulted in further injuries.

At this moment, if he hadn't held onto the wall, how could he have supported his shaky body that was about to fall?

“Oh wow!”

Xue Youli felt so happy when she saw this scene, "He's not going to die here today, is he?"

Chu Xinyue raised her eyes and looked towards Murong Ye's head. When she found that the shining aura of the leading actor above his head had dimmed, she immediately grabbed Xue Youli's hand excitedly and said, "Ali, Murong Ye's aura of the leading actor has dimmed a lot. Maybe what you said is right. This day next year will be his death anniversary!"

They didn't speak loudly, but a large group of concubines, led by Xue Qingyao, looked at their backs and swarmed towards them.

There were many of them, and before they could get close, the noise startled Murong Ye, who was half dead from Lan Zheng's attack.

After Murong Ye kicked Lan Zheng away, he looked up towards the wall and saw two figures flashing by.

"Someone come... someone come quickly..."

Murong Ye covered his wound and tried his best to call for help from the people outside.

Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue hid behind the wall and looked at each other, both seeing the embarrassment in each other's eyes.

Chu Xinyue frowned, with a hint of worry in her eyes, "If we go to save him, it will definitely be worse than eating a fly. If we don't save him, if he doesn't die, will he bite back and accuse us of deliberately murdering him?"

Xue Youli put away the teasing look in his eyes and turned serious.

Her eyes rolled and she immediately came up with an idea, "Oh! We are just weak girls who can't take care of ourselves. How can we have that ability? Come on, let's strike first!"

Chu Xinyue knew that she had many ideas and couldn't keep up with her thinking. "How, how to do it?"

Xue Youli looked at the concubines who were approaching, and in a second her face changed to a terrified expression, "Hurry up and help! Someone's dead! Princess Lan Zheng seems to be possessed by evil spirits! She's so scary, she stabbed His Royal Highness the King with a sword! Hurry up and help!"

Chu Xinyue understood immediately and started to cry for help, "This is too scary! Princess Lan Zheng is going to kill someone! Come and save His Royal Highness Prince Xian!"

When Xue Qingyao heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

She has lived two lives and knows the relationship between Lan Zheng and Murong Ye very well.

Lan Zheng has deep feelings for Murong Ye. Even if she hurts herself, she would never hurt Murong Ye!

What on earth are Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue up to?

Yin Xuan'er and Song Sijing also found it strange, but when they saw Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue both looked panicked, they slowed down their pace cautiously.

It was not until several guards heard the noise and rushed into the narrow passage that the concubines mustered up the courage to go over to see the excitement.

When Murong Ye was rescued from the passage by the guards, his brocade robe was already soaked with blood.

The concubines looked at the long sword still stuck in his body and were terrified.

"What's going on? How could an assassin sneak into the palace in broad daylight?"

"It's not an assassin. Look, there's only Princess Lan Zheng in there besides the guards!"

No one knew who was the first to rush to the alley entrance, but he could clearly see that the person confronting the guards was Lan Zheng.

When the others heard her say this, and recalled what Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue had said when they called for help, they looked puzzled, "Could Princess Lan Zheng really be possessed by an evil spirit?"

"I've heard before that there's a creature called a cricket in Nanzhao. It's very strange. Not only can it control people's minds, but it can also take people's heads from thousands of miles away. It's really scary!"

"You mean, Princess Lan Zheng was bewitched by a Nanzhao snake?"

"I didn't say that! I'm not from Nanzhao, how would I know what happened to Princess Lan Zheng? I just heard others talk about Nanzhao and said it casually!"

Just as they were chatting, the guards' screams were heard in the corridor.

The concubines were curious and scared. They stepped back, but stretched their necks and legs. "What happened? Could the guards have been injured by Princess Lan Zheng as well?"

"This is too scary! Should we call more people over? If these guards can't stop Princess Lan Zheng, won't we be in trouble?"

When Chu Xinyue and Xue Youli heard the guards screaming, they guessed that they were afraid to attack Princess Lan Zheng because of her identity, and were killed by Lan Zheng instead.

The two of them squeezed through the group of concubines who were anxious but eager to join in the fun and walked to the front.

Between the two walls, a guard had one of his arms chopped off by Lan Zheng and fell to the ground in pain.

Lan Zheng held the sword snatched from the guard, walked woodenly to the other three guards, and started slashing at them with a wave of her hand.

The three guards were also frightened when they saw that she was covered in wounds but didn't seem to feel any pain at all.

They raised their sword-holding hands into the air, but when they thought of Lan Zheng's identity as a princess, they could only turn attack into defense, blocking Lan Zheng's sword while retreating.

"Princess Lan Zheng has gone crazy! Everyone, go and call the emperor over!" Xue Youli turned around and shouted to the concubines behind her. After a pause, she added, "Oh, by the way, tell the emperor to notify General Meng Shi to come and stop Lan Zheng! If the Nanzhao envoys are not present, if Lan Zheng gets into trouble, there's no guarantee that they won't take advantage of the situation to cause trouble!"

"Okay, I'll go!" Although Yin Xuan'er didn't agree with Xue Youli, she still knew the importance of such a major issue.

At this moment, there was chaos all around.

Chu Xinyue looked around and found that Lan Luo was not in the crowd. She frowned in confusion, "Strange, where is Princess Lan Luo? Why haven't I seen her?"
